“Sickening” Video Shows Cops Attack a Peaceful Old Man and Break His Arm for No Reason

Burlington City, NJ — In February 2014, Steven S. Kahn, 60, was peacefully sitting in his car, had not harmed anyone and was not suspected of committing any crime. However, these facts would prove to be no defense against Burlington City police officers and their tendency that night to escalate a peaceful situation into a violent one.

The entire interaction was captured on police dashcam.

According to the Courier-Post, Michael J. McKenna, a Cherry Hill attorney representing Kahn, said the video “demonstrates a use of force by police against a 60-year-old man so excessive that it can only be called sickening.”

According to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Kahn, police went to the Wawa gas station where he was parked in response to Kahn’s passenger being involved in a dispute over a clerk’s refusal to sell her tobacco products without an ID.

As shown on the dashcam, the situation looks peaceful enough as three officers surround the car. However, the scene quickly turns violent as the female passenger, the alleged subject of the police investigation, becomes the target of cops.

In the video, the officers are seen shouting at the woman, who is then yanked from the car and slammed on the hood of the patrol car as she is placed in handcuffs.

While this was going on, Kahn sat peacefully and calmly in his car, until he became the subject of the officers’ “swift, severe and unprovoked violence,” according to the suit

After the officers had slammed the 60-year-old man face down on the concrete, they knelt on him while placing him in an arm lock. Wanting to join in on the assault, officer William Lancenese, jumped in and also “applied weight and force on top of Mr. Kahn,” the suit says.

As multiple cops applied their weight and force to the 60-year-old, Kahn noted that he couldn’t comply with giving the officers his right arm because it was pinned underneath him by the officers’ weight.

According to the lawsuit, it was at this point that Bright “suddenly and with great force” bent Kahn’s left arm until it snapped.

The brutalized and tormented Kahn was then placed in handcuffs which “caused further agony and suffering,” according to the suit. Then, instead of bringing him to a hospital, the injured man was brought to jail.

The ‘charges’ against Kahn, which apparently required such brutal force to arrest him, were all dropped as a part of a conditional plea. The entire violent interaction in the video below was carried out by these officers for no reason at all.

When will people tire of this nonsensical bullying in the name of “keeping the peace” and insist on an entirely new system.Do we need men out there arresting people for being belligerent?Is it in the public interest to pull old men out of cars and break their arms just because they can? They harass drivers,walkers,bikers even persons just coming from the corner store all looking for reasons to lock them in a cage and if they can beat them up and throw them around first all the better. This “Gang in Blue” needs to be disbanded.We’d be better off hiring private firms.At least then if they are heavy handed we can fire them.

Here is the email of this pig that likes to pick on old men and females. Looks like he has been promoted to SGT. for beating up women and old men. Let him know he is a pig and a coward. [email protected]

Another example of our courageous men in blue…such bravery in the face of the brute force of a 60 year old man…these officers…risking their lives to make an arrest that was thrown out ona conditional plea…such courage….such undaunted bravery in the face of such

these men are not typical of our police. these men are thugs in uniform with mental problems and should be removed from the police force permanently and they should have to pay all medical expenses for this poor elderly victim and they should do time for their assault. also i pray they turn away from evil and turn to JESUS and be saved.

Sadly You Are Wrong ! These men are atypical of ALL POLICE MEN & WOMEN IN AMERICA TODAY !
This has nothing to do with Jesus or Evil. But, it does have everything to do with hiring practises, training and attitude of cop ! Once long ago the beat cop was to protect and serve. Today, only aggressive bulldog types are hired, aggressively trained to intimidate, lie, harass,arrest, shoot to kill, brutalize, and to make money revenue for the legal system,
then turned loose on the unsuspecting public. Wake Up America, You are sheep and these are the wolves that you have hired to protect you !

This is the reason I will always resist injustice. Weather they wear a badge and gun or not. I respect the job officers have to do. And they do a good job for the most part. Except the ones that don’t. One bad officer can spoil the bunch. The bad ones need to be dealt with swiftly so as not to tarnish the good ones.

Gosh this is horrible! Poor guy.. They don’t have anything else better to do? !

it’s the only time cops feel tough…when they are beating up children and women and old men in cuffs!funny they didn’t die in custody,i mean the hardened criminals they are!,f’kn cops are the criminals,all of them!

These are not cops. Cops are supposedly there to protect and serve. If the citizens of a country are too wet or cowardly to uphold the law against these arse-holes then they deserve “officers” like this. In the civilised world we arrest cops like this and put them on trial.
